So I had an abnormal pap smear in the months before I got pregnant with Grace. It was the lowest grade abnormal (atypical), but an abnormal none the less. I had a colposcopy a few weeks later which was completely normal and by OB didn't even feel the need to take a biopsy. The plan was to have pap smears every 6 months from here on out. Of course then I became pregnant so no pap smear in 6 months. I had one at my 6 week follow up from losing Grace and it was perfectly normal. I even had to remind the OB's office that I needed to schedule another exam in 6 months not 12. Well 6 months have gone by and last week I had my pap smear. I wasn't even worried about it, since the last one was normal, but the universe has a crappy sense of humor.
It was low grade abnormal, so 1 level worse than the atypical I had previously, there are still 3 more levels of abnormal after this one, but it has hit me like a ton of bricks. In 3 weeks I go in for another colposcopy, but even if that is normal they will likely biopsy and perform cryosurgery on my cervix since I keep having abnormal smears. This just sucks, my baby died I should get a pass on all this crap, especially things involving my reproductive organs. Seriously I have had sex with 3 people in my life, 3 and yet I have this to deal with.
I am sorry if this comes off as a complete pity party, but hey I reserve the right today. Tomorrow I can be all adult and think about the people who have dealt with worse things than this, but not today.
I am sorry you are going through this. The universe DOES seem to have a crappy sense of humor and you more than deserve a pass. Thinking positive thoughts for you.
ReplyDeleteooh I'm sorry. You can have your pity party as much as you want, that sucks! I hope they figure out what is going on. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteI dealt with various grades of CIN for years and had several treatments (usually, it's supposed to clear up after first treatment; like 99% of the time my gyno told me - I appear to be very good at falling on the wrong side of statistics!). If my email shows for you when I leave a comment, and you want to chat about it, feel free to email me. I hope everything is cleared up for you ASAP. And you're right: you should get a pass.
